@PatrickCPresent @DucksProspects you have any info on why it seems colangelo has fallen out of favor on the ducks org? I don’t follow the Gulls guys much, but weird he wasn’t with the guys who were up for the playoffs right?

@IcemanAthletic Had both hips done, took 4 months to be back. Mine were as bad as it gets and had both done at same time Feel much better than I ever did pre surgery, stoked for him

Troy Terry's impending hip surgery could put his readiness for the start of the 2026-27 season into question.🔓#FlyTogether nytimes.com/athletic/72982…

@ReindeerGames91 Pass (on trouba too)

@Felix_Sicard Now do John Carlson @ReindeerGames91

@RyanGibbs56 What are you talking about rebound. He played great in the playoffs

Do you look to trade Mason McTavish or do you just hope he rebounds with a full summer/training camp? Do you package some of the Gulls on the cusp like Sidorov/Solberg to bring in immediate high impact guys who help you win right now?

@ZachCav @SportingTrib Thanks for all the coverage throughout the year and beyond! Is it weird I’m equally excited for this offseason? A lot of moves to be made and a lot of development from key players could be had (Mctavish, Minty, zelly, luneau, McQueen)

Anaheim Ducks exit interviews are today. We’ll be talking to plenty of players, posting plenty of interviews (including Pat Verbeek and Joel Quenneville), and of course, all the injuries when informed. Follow along for the last day of school. @SportingTrib | #FlyTogether

@TDChrisG Not a single real fan thought ducks would crush Vegas. Stop spinning stupid narratives, you’re better than that. Happy it was a close series for the most part, enjoy the win but don’t be daft

Ducks fans 2 weeks ago, we are going to crush VGK and shock the Avalanche. Ducks fans now, the Avalanche are going to crush VGK.

@ReindeerGames91 Yeah I’m excited for solberg and luneau but you need a guy like trouba Minty doesn’t have as much upside as zelly I think or maybe his d partner was the issue idk

@MattPayner Also I thought defensively Mintyukov was very good in this series but I think you move him or Olen this offseason still. LaCombe is locked in and I would imagine the org loves Solberg long term

John Carlson’s tough game continues with a brutal turnover and then recovery that leads to that goal against

@ZachCav Can you please ask Q why he refused to adjust and put cutter on top line when he saw Leo struggling due to linemates

Final: Golden Knights 5, Ducks 1 And that's handshakes. Vegas steamrolls Anaheim in the first period and locks down to take Game 6 and the series. Fate fell short this time. Smile fades in the summer. Ducks first-step playoff run ends in the second round. #FlyTogether

@Rodriguez619778 @K_Nick_97 He abandoned anaheims game and tried to force a defensive / checking style on them this series. It’s not how the team is built. His d structure directly contradicts his goalies play style. Those are all coaching things He refused to put on top line for kreider

@MattPayner @K_Nick_97 Not his fault players can't come through get it

Proud of what this team achieved but this series needs to be a gut-check lesson. Losing two out of three at home in absolutely shambolic fashion is completely unacceptable.

@ReindeerGames91 Who would be better? He’s been very solid despite the blind hate Let kreider go sign/trade a top 6 wing trade Pavel not zelly And I’d take a hard look at myself if I’m Q cuz he was not solid this playoffs. Y are ducks adopting a defensive game and forgetting what got them here

@MattPayner Personally I wouldn’t bring back Trouba. If you want a more veteran steady RHD, I would see what’s out there in FA or trade before bringing back any of the three right handed vets

@Rodriguez619778 @K_Nick_97 Coach not good this playoffs

@MattPayner @K_Nick_97 These youngsters need leadership, ducks are good , have a good coach , we ad a few veteran star players watchout .

@K_Nick_97 How long have you watched the ducks lol

This is about as bad of a start as I have ever seen a team have in an elimination game.

@Felix_Sicard Ran out of gas, not really a deep team cuz unwilling to use young guys. Poehling shit really hurt morale. Q adjustments pretty terrible this series. Vegas a better team tho (for now).

Special teams have killed Anaheim in this series.

@Derek_Lee27 Feels like every elimination game ever for the ducks

3-0 Vegas. Theodore from the point. This one feels like a rewind of Game 3. #FlyTogether

@Derek_Lee27 So so bad. Now they’re gonna try to do too much

2-0 Vegas. A shorthanded odd-man rush (ironic, isn’t it) ends with a wide open one-timer for Howden. #FlyTogether

@ZachCav @SportingTrib Comical do or die 3rd line. Why pair Viel with gauthier. So many Qs

Anaheim Ducks Game 6️⃣ warm-up line rushes vs #ForgedInGold: Kreider-Carlsson-Terry Killorn-Granlund-Sennecke Viel-McTavish-Gauthier Harkins-Washe-Johnston LaCombe-Trouba Mintyukov-Carlson Zellweger-Moore Dostál | Husso @SportingTrib | #FlyTogether

@Jabs_13 And Poehling will not be

I think NHL Player Safety got this right. I was thinking 1-2 games. Brayden McNabb misses Game 6 in Anaheim and will be available if the series goes back to Vegas for a Game 7. #ForgedInGold
